This film screening aims to bring awareness to our soldiers and veterans by providing insight into the American soldier. Iraq Veterans Against the War is presenting this film in collaboration with San Francisco’s chapter of Veterans for Peace. This film screening will be followed with a discussion by some of our members.

From a snowy small town in Northern Michigan to the mountains of Afghanistan and back, Where Soldiers Come From follows the four-year journey of childhood friends, forever changed by a faraway war.

A documentary about growing up, Where Soldiers Come From is an intimate look at the young men who fight our wars and the families and town they come from. Returning to her hometown, Director Heather Courtney gains extraordinary access following these young men as they grow and change from teenagers stuck in their town, to 23-year-old veterans facing the struggles of returning home.

We hope you can join us for this event.
